    Part of the Global Lens Film Series

    While a teacher in one of Buenos Aires’ elite private schools accepts its rigid code of conduct and identification with the nation state, the ensuing degradation of discipline parallels the popular rebellion against Argentina’s military regime of the 1980s. Diego Lerman’s engrossing and beautifully acted exploration of the totalitarian urge opens with a portrait of María Teresa, a lonely and deeply repressed assistant teacher. Obedient and willing, she accepts unquestioningly the school’s rigid code of conduct and proud identification with the nation state. But her head professor’s words about the “cancer of subversion” and need for total surveillance soon feed an unhealthy obsession with one of her students, leading to an ensuing spiral of degradation and breakdown in discipline that parallels a popular rebellion beyond the school’s ivy-covered walls.

    Director: Diego Lerman
